The navy said sudden weather changes affected their visibility during the free-fall parachuting exercise.
In a rescue operation off the coast of Malaysia, six members of the navy special warfare forces, known as Paskal, were found safe after drifting at sea during a free-fall parachuting exercise. The incident occurred yesterday when the team missed their designated landing site due to sudden weather changes that severely impacted their visibility.
According to the navy, the sudden weather changes caused the jumpers to lose their way, leading to their drifting at sea. Despite the challenging circumstances, the navy's statement highlighted the effectiveness of Paskal's rigorous and realistic training, which prepares its personnel for unforeseen circumstances. The training is said to foster high resilience, discipline, and survival capabilities, in line with the navy's motto "Sentiasa yang Terbaik" (Always the Best).
The navy reiterated its commitment to maintaining both combat readiness and personnel safety to ensure the security of Malaysia's waters.
